Clark County’s circuit courts were the most overloaded with new cases of any Hoosier county last year, with judges handling more than double the state standard, according to Indiana’s latest caseload study.
The average Indiana county’s courts had about 120 percent of the standard caseload last year, according to the study, which was released this month. But Clark had 232 percent of the caseload.
The study also found the state would need to fund about 89 new judicial officers in various counties to meet the standard caseloads, including hiring about seven more judges in Clark.
